If you want something, make sure you believe in it.

This will unconsciously shape how you behave, decide and act.

It will bring you closer to what you want.

For planning purposes, it is good to be pessimistic.

Otherwise, stay optimistic and do your best to get it.

Believe that you deserve the outcome that you wish for.
